8. Filling Critical Gaps
1. Payment policy
• Whether to require payment from their employees for use of company charging equipment or offer it
as an employment benefit,
2. Pricing policy
• What pricing structure is appropriate if choosing to require payment ‐ pay $/h or for actual electricity
charged ($/kWh)?
3. Purpose
• Whether company charging stations are required to be open for public use
4. System Optimization
• How to optimize parking to ensure that a car doesn’t occupy a charging space long after it is fully
charged.
• How to prioritize charging of fleet vehicles vs. employee vehicles
5. Infrastructure
• Installation process
o What types of chargers to use, UL listing, certification, upgrades, permitting, etc.
• Options
o Whether to choose 24O vs. 120 Volt chargers or even fast chargers in some cases – and how
many chargers per vehicle.
o Connecting chargers with clean DG
o V2X – integrating with the building load and managing the peak load of building or site (financial
incentives)
o V2X or V2G – play in demand response program of utility or ancillary services with CA ISO
• Costs and Benefits
o How to assess and avoid demand charges from the utility during peak load periods
6. Incentives
• Whether to use free charging as an incentive vs. company‐paid lease
7, Internal Procedures
• How to secure employee buy‐in
• How to secure senior management buy‐in
What significant issues are missing?
